What is a substitute for a spudger?

A few good substitutes for a spudger could include a flat head screwdriver, a credit card, chop sticks, a pen, pencil or even a butter knife. You could even find a nice stick or twig and fashion a DIY homemade spudger by scraping off the bark and bringing the end of the stick to the shape you need whether it be for prying or poking at sensitive components.
